Morning Wood: Matthew Fox

Here's a sneak peek at the March issue of GQ featuring "Lost" hunk Matthew Fox.

Even back in the '90s when everyone was swooning over Bailey Salinger on "Party of Five," I only had eyes for big brother Charlie ...

Total Fox

The new Details arrived yesterday and cover man Matthew Fox sure is looking hot as ever. I've never seen "Lost" (not my kind of show) and I didn't even watch "Party of Five" back in the day, although I was keenly aware of its stars. I remember always being the odd gay out when everyone was lusting after Bailey (Scott Wolf) and I was always saying, "No way. The older brother is the hot one." I think time has proven me correct, although I will admit I raced out to see "White Squall" the Friday it opened in 1996. As I recall, every fag in the DC metro area was in that AMC Courthouse Theatre that night. But again Scott was upstaged, that time by very young Ryan Phillippe. (Young Balthazar Getty and Jeff Bridges were pretty hot, too.)

Fox and Friends

Matthew Fox visits the "Late Show with David Letterman" at the Ed Sullivan Theater this week in New York City. They don't get any more handsome than this one.

Fun 'Couples' at the Emmys

With the visibility of same-sex couples at an all time high at this year's Emmy Awards -- Neil Patrick Harris/David Burtka and Jane Lynch/Lara Embry shining the brightest with three trophies between them -- you gotta figure Rock Hudson is taking a break from having sex with hundreds of young studs somewhere to look down and smile. But as great as our award-winning gays were, here are a few of my other fave "duos" from the night:

"Bosom Buddies" reunion: Tom Hanks and Holland Taylor

This'll Work: Scott Bakula and Joel McHale -- one for sex, one for laughs

Lose That Hubby: Alexander Skarsgard and Anna Paquin

Party of Two: Matthew Fox and Eric Stonestreet

Mad Women: January Jones and Christina Hendricks

The only thing thinner than Lea Michele these days is Chris Colfer's voice

Mad About You: Jon Hamm and non-wife Jennifer Westfeldt

The perpetually hot Dennis Quaid and ... well, who really cares?

Kiss and Make Up: Jane and Matthew Morrison

High Flying, Adored

If I was at all defensive about admitted that I love "Wings" better than all the classic '90s sitcoms, seeing a young Matthew Fox pop up as a star high school baseball player -- whom Helen shamelessly lusts after(!) -- completely convinced me I was right!

Tickle-Me-Jake

Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Matthew Fox and Michelle Obama are all slated to appear on "Sesame Street" this year, to help celebrate the show's 40th season. Sounds like a lot fun (I certainly don't remember the neighborhood being littered with hunks when I was a kid. I mean really, Mr. Hooper??) Note to Elmo: if Jakey wants to play campout in the pup tent, but all means say yes.

Three Men in a Boat

Matthew Fox is flanked by soccer star Luis Figo and Eric Dane all looking good during a commercial shoot in Portofino, Italy, on Monday. Whatever they're selling, I'm buying.

My father died of Covid alone in a hospital. I had to say goodbye to him over a phone. Trump got a joyride to sooth his desperate need for attention, while endangering the lives of the Secret Service people in the car with him. To hell with him and all who enable him.

Romney tells @jaketapper that GOP has “strayed“ from its core values. “I don’t see us returning to that for a long time. As I look at the 2024 contenders, most of them are trying to be as much like Donald Trump as they can be.” Says he represents “very small slice” of GOP today

Romney isn’t there yet, but he should consider a new party 

Outgoing Attorney General William Barr said in his final press conference that he sees no reason to appoint a special counsel on potential election fraud or the tax investigation into Hunter Biden.https://t.co/qLVcCnmudy

Trump's biggest sycophant appears to have had enough:  'There's no need for a special counsel for Hunter Biden or the election -- and Russia did the hacking' 

If Biden is inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on January 20th, it will mark the final hour of conspiracy to dismantle the American election process, and the first hour of conspiracy to dismantle America.
